- Welcome to the 22nd FAA Conference -

Welcome to the 22nd biennial astrology conference sponsored by the FAA. Our conferences are the gathering
place for our national and international community, where we come together to share and celebrate our mutual
appreciation of the wisdom and guidance that astrology provides in our lives. As I write this we have delegates and
presenters from every state and territory in Australia, as well as Austria, England, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, India,
Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, New Zealand and the USA. Welcome everyone.

This year we acknowledge the diversity of astrology and honour its vibrant practice. Our theme Transforming the
Tradition recognizes the development and transitions in our discipline over time, and brings presenters from its
many paths to commemorate and celebrate our diversity - a warm welcome to all our presenters, who are the voices
for our time-honoured tradition.

We start with a short ceremony on Thursday the 18th at 1.00 pm with Welcome to Country and an Acknowledgment of
Country. We will then pronounce the conference open at 1.05 pm.

The chart of the opening was proposed by Roderick Kidston, one of our dearly loved and respected mentors. Besides
possessing a brilliant grasp of history and tradition, Roderick revelled in the complexities of the cosmos, masterful at
fixed stars, asteroids and many other unique aspects of the art. When I proposed a timeframe Roderick tweaked the
chart so the Part of Fortune crept into Taurus, much better he said than having the Part of Fortune in Aries! The chart
is reproduced here and Roderick’s reflections on this chart are on the FAA Conference website.

Where do your angles and planets intersect with this horoscope?

                                                                                                                      3

As Roderick wrote: the conference “may not be the Age of Aquarius but it has a strong, upbeat vibe”. He signed off saying
“let’s participate with the possibilities to make this a truly memorable conference! Look forward to seeing you there”; but
unfortunately Roderick will not be with us. He died unexpectedly on January 25, 2017; Roderick will be missed, but
always remembered. Ironically our opening ceremony would have been Roderick’s 57th birthday, a few hours after
his solar return.

A moment in time. As astrologers we give meaning to moments in time, aware of the symbols, in awe of the
synchronicities, recognizing that reverence to a moment of time summons energy and life force. We invite you to
place this chart over your natal horoscope to see what appears. What might this moment in time mean to you? And
then we invite you to participate in the process to make our time together memorable, creative and fun.

It takes many hours, many hands and much goodwill to create our conferences and we thank everyone who has been
a part of that process. The FAA is a non-profit organization staffed by volunteers, so to everyone who has lent a hand
and opened their hearts to support the conference, a sincere and soulful thank you. We have tried our best to create
the space and we invite you to enter into it.

With Jupiter’s blessings,

basis. While we have endeavoured to have as much space as
possible in all our rooms we can never guarantee that some

                                                 The Magic of the Stars
                                                     by Roderick Kidston
                                The Magic of the Stars incorporates new information into ancient
                              knowledge, explaining the roles played by the fixed stars in greater
                              depth than ever before. This book includes information for over one
                              hundred stars that have not been previously analyzed. For each star,
                               astrologer Roderick Kidston presents an astronomical designation,
                                 its common name, its position and meaning, and some famous
                                                 examples of those it influences.

 Medical astrology can also be used to look at fertility and
 all that surrounds the journey to having children. This
 lecture will look at the natal chart and the transits that
 help to influence pregnancy, fertility and conception,
 as well as choosing optimum days astrologically to
 enhance these processes. Join Kira for an affirmative
 side to medical astrology where we look at the possible
 creation of families, rather than the inherited ailments
 our families have bestowed on us.
